Espanyol – Levante Prediction (2018-01-04)

Espanyol – Levante : Preview & Prediction

An interesting match in this day of Thursday is the one that will play Espanyol and Levante for a new round of the Copa del Rey (first leg).

In my opinion, the “parakeet” picture starts as a favorite due to the collective potential it possesses and above all because of the local factor. However, if we consider that your opponent is rough and uncomfortable to overcome, we advise you to play a few euros to the bet “minus 2.5 goals”. Paint for the process to be fought in the midfield from the initial whistle.

Take into account that Espanyol is not fulfilling a good campaign in the Spanish tournament, to be located in the fifteenth position of the competition. Yes, managed to beat Atlético de Madrid 1-0 before the league recess, reaching a bit away from the direct decline. It is still a good one but not very effective in terms of results.

On the other hand do not forget that the box “parakeet” came to this instance after eliminating Tenerife in a tight tie (0-0 draw in the first leg and triumph 3-2 in the home return).

Continuing with the analysis you should know that Levante equalized 0-0 against Leganés as a local, reaching several matches without winning in the Santander League (3 draws and 2 losses). With 18 units in total, the team’s objective is to get away from the direct descent, since it is only 3 to fall in that dreaded area.

And finally we tell you that the squadron “blue” got its quota to this instance copera after leaving on the road to the intense Girona (victory 0-2 visit in the first leg and 1-1 draw at home).

After all that I said the game for the bet “minus 2.5 goals” due to the following reasons: First because the two teams are even and irregular at the same time in their actions. For this reason and knowing that they have different football styles, we believe that they can be neutralized throughout the 90 minutes of the game. Second, because Espanyol is a competitive and easy-going organization despite its irregularity in terms of results. Therefore, we believe that it will be difficult for him to reach the goal, and may also influence that some substitutes play. And third because Levante is a complicated squad to overcome despite some missteps, standing out for raising rough and fought out in the midfield. Faced with this reality and knowing that the process will be tactical, we believe that the game can end 0-0 or 1-1 after the final whistle.
